Website Redux

The website has undergone a little bit of a makeover this weekend. Hope you all like it and hope you’re all enjoying your Monday holiday!

Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific

Hope everyone is enjoying their Labor Day weekend so far. Had a short little ride this morning starting out with Como Street and am heading to the

Long Beach Aquarium

of the Pacific today to look at the fishies. If you’ve never been, I highly recommend it. It’s a small aquarium but very nice and has cool exhibits. The area has undergone some changes as well and is a nice place to walk around. The convention center is close by and they’ve built up The Pike which has shops and restaurants. There’s also Rainbow Harbor that’s been there a long time with more places to shop and eat.

We’ve had a membership since it first opened and go every now and then. Our favorite time to go it adults-only members only night. Although, adults can sometimes be just as bad as kids there. Anyway, enjoy your hot, humid Sunday and let’s hope this weather cools down a tad today!

So long Summer...

Can you feel that? Summer slipping away. I know, it’s a bummer. This past week I’ve noticed daylight starting a little later in the mornings and going away earlier in the evenings. On my Tuesday night mountain bike ride, when we get back, it seems to be just a bit chilly and darker. I hate it!

It’s Labor Day weekend and all downhill from here. Although, we’ll see if I can continue my riding and not escape into the cubby again in the off-season. I’m hoping to get out and do more mountain biking this Fall. Single Speed!!!

Labor Day

It’s Friday! And, there’s a holiday on Monday! Are you at all curious to know what exactly Labor Day and why we have it or do you just see ‘3-day weekend’?

Well, if you’re at all curious about what Labor Day is, check out

for some history on the holiday.

Go Miniman Go!

I’m a LEGO freak. Love ‘em. Did you know that it’s the 30th anniversary of the Minimam? Neither did I. LEGO is celebrating the awesome little figures that come with most LEGO sets with a special

website

. Below is a cool little video they made.

Look out! A Storm is coming...

Thanks to

Engadget

, it’s been discovered that the BlackBerry Thunder touch screen is going to be called the BlackBerry 9530 Storm here on Verizon. Those of you attached to that ‘Thunder’ name? Not to worry, just head up to Canada on Rogers and to Europe on Vodafone and you’ll see some Thunder.

This is BlackBerry’s first touch screen device and looks pretty cool. I hope it does well. In my opinion, every touch screen that’s tried to go up against Apple hasn’t done so well. Click the link above if you want to see what that purdy box is gonna look like when released.

New Apple products coming soon?

Rumors are circulating around the web about a refresh of Apple products coming on September 9th. There’s even talk of an ‘Apple Event’ taking place the same day. Speculation of product releases include re-designed macbook pro’s. ipod nano’s and mac mini’s.

So, if you’re thinking of buying an Apple product, might want to hold off for just a bit longer and see if your intended purchase is getting a makeover.
